[OPEN POST] 28 - December - Russian Army in Chechnya 1995

Added 2023-12-27 13:16:16 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

December release is ready (i'm not even sure how to say "late again" in different words)!

This release is dedicated to First Chechen war, the topic I've been avoiding for a long time, but this time i felt i can do it and my Patrons supported me.

For first part of this theme I've tried to portray the troops on the march, patrol, or manning the blockpost - activities you can often hear about from vets.

.In terms of weapons, i chose the iconic classics of the era, from AK-74 to PKM. A fresh addition to arsenal is RPK-74 light machinegun, offering a middle ground between assault rifle and GPMG.

Gear-wise I've tried to stick to photo references i found suitable, as well as memoirs of veterans I've read. Therefore I've decided to sculpt two models not wearing any sort of armor as it was a common thing.

In this release you will find four models:

- NCO with a choice of AK-74, AK-74GP and RPK-74

- Specialist with a choice of AK-74GP, RPK-74, SVD and PKM

- Rifleman with a choice of AK-74GP and RPK-74

- Rifleman with a choice of AK-74 and AK-74GP, carrying RPG-26 for extra firepower

And also a set of extra heads

As always, you can see more info on layout renders!

I wish you to have the most splendid time printing , painting and wargaming with them!

Cheers and Happy New Year!
